The Liverpool Echo revealed that several people have now been questioned over the shocking armed raid.

Mr Moores’ home was targeted by the gang as he watched the Reds take on Man City last March.

They entered the property and demanded cash and jewellery - before attacking the honorary LFC life president and locking him in a bathroom.

The 70-year-old was also left with deep wounds to his ankles and extensive bruising in the “targeted” attack, which saw the balaclava-clad robbers make off with £7,000 in cash, mainly in £50 notes, and valuables including a distinctive Richard Mille skull watch.

Ten months since the incident, our sister paper, the Liverpool Echo understands five people have been quizzed by Lancashire Police detectives.

They are:

- Three men, aged 30, 34yrs and 39yrs, and all from Liverpool, arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery.

They are on police bail pending further enquiries.

- A 38-year-old man from Widnes was arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice and is also on police bail.

- A 29-year-old woman from Liverpool was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods and money laundering. She has been released and not subjected to any charges.

The investigation led police to appeal on national TV as they hunted for clues.

Speaking on the BBC’s Crimewatch, DC Michael Mason said: “Once inside they [the gang] subjected Mr Moores to a sustained attack and then they took him upstairs and locked him in a bathroom, leaving him bleeding heavily from his injuries.”

CCTV from outside the property showed men climbing over fences, holding crowbars and making off with hold-alls.

The offenders were described as white, and one spoke with a “north-west accent”.

A second man spoke with an Eastern European accent, though police believe he may have faked it in an attempt to mask an English one.

Mr Moores sold Liverpool FC to Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillett in 2007 after acting as chairman since 1991.
